Review on Get Crafting with Knitter's Pride KP110604 Karbonz Double Pointed Needles Socks Kit by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

great but problem with metal tips coming off

I really like these sock knitting needles. They are a good length and I like the in-between sizes. the needle body feels warm like wood, but metal tips are easier to knit with, especially on these smaller sizes when the wood cannot be made sharp enough, and generally wooden needles in these sizes (0, 1, 2) are too thin to be strong. however, after just a week of use, one of the metal ends separates from the body of the needle. Haven't checked to glue it back yet - it doesn't appear to be threaded, just under pressure. I hope this is just a defect in one needle and will not be a recurring problem.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are new competitors
